Now I will say, the most secure way to take care of your data and accounts is to not have a centralized email.
However, if you want to go that route... you can use an infinite number of "email addresses" for just one email address... it works with all emails, as it is a feature of the global email protocol.
For instance...
If your base email is...
insidehoops8@gmail.com
You can sign up to various websites using the following "email addresses" and anything that is sent to any of them will always be directed to insidehoops8@gmail.com
insidehoops8+lol@gmail.com
insidehoops8+randombullshit@gmail.com
insidehoops8+basketball@gmail.com
insidehoops8+facebook@gmail.com
insidehoops8+reddit@gmail.com
insidehoops8+whateveryouwanthere@gmail.com
All of these addresses, when provided to another website, will all filter back to insidehoops8@gmail.com
It's just the plus sign that makes all the difference in the world. The "+" sign is just a rarely talked about and rarely known email protocol feature.
Now, take note... all that does is make it so that if someone compromises a website's logins and passwords database, like... reddit or facebook's, for instance, your information won't be usable by someone that doesn't know about this feature and it will drastically reduce your vulnerability to any potential script kiddies. All it does is reduce risk. It is not bulletproof and it does not make your true email concealed to anyone who knows about the feature. And if you send any emails OUT from insidehoop8@gmail.com, in this example, the recipient is going to see your actual email address of insidehoops8@gmail.com. Incoming filtered only. Not outgoing. There might be a way to conceal your email address on outgoing emails, but I doubt it, and if there is, I don't know about it. Talk about potential abuse, damn. Anyways...
Oh, and yeah, for all of you alt abusers, now you don't need to create a bunch of different emails to build your army of alts... you sick bastards... although I suspect if anyone looked at the email database, you would be outed quickly, lol.
